Dennis: Israeli continues its killing spree.. today shooting
an 85 year old shephard off his donkey and killing a 16 year
old sitting in an internet cafe.. now w Ali Abunimah, founder
of the Electronic Intifada website.. Ali: they shot the shepard
dead for straying onto 'Jewish Only' land (ie stolen Palestinian
land).. two Israelis arrested for attempting to run down a
Palestinian laborer.. about Sharon's new partners in government..
quite explicit in calling for the removal of all Palestinians
both inside Israel and in the West Bank and Gaza.. I called
AIPAC.. spoke with their press secretary.. then I spoke to
Foxman.. AIPAC and the US media went ballistic when the so-called
'Freedom Party' was included in the Austria government.. because
it advocated expelling immigrants from Austria.. but when
it comes to open ethnic cleansing advocates in the government
of Israeli, silence.. about Benny ^^^^, calling the Palestinians
evil beasts, likens them to a subhuman race.. no more violent
view anywhere.. we are aiding and abetting these people..

Dennis: about the recent decision by the Belgium Supreme Court
to allow.. now w Reed Brody of Human Rights Watch.. supporting
a criminal investigation into Ariel Sharon's war crimes in
Lebanon.. in 1982 when Israel was occupying the south of Lebanon..
the leader of Lebanon was assassinated.. Iraeli allowed Christian
Phalangist militia into the Sabra and Chatila refugee camps
(Fisk) (Chomsky), and lit the camps at night.. the militia
went on a three day killing rampage.. about the Israeli commission
of inquiry.. said Sharon bore personal responsibility.. but
he was never brought to justice.. war crimes complaints anywhere
in the world can be brought to Belgium courts for trial..
now the court allows the complaint to go forward now against
Sharon's deputy, General Yarif, and against Sharon after he
leaves office..
